WEEK 1

[whimsicalism]

Well! That was some tea party, huh? You've finally seen the faces (or perhaps the singular is more proper here?) of your captors. A pair of creepy twins seem to fit the overall theme of the Castle at least. Why not have Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum, after all?

Regardless, it doesn't seem that they're changing their minds any time soon. The first floor of the Castle is still open up to you. The Audience Hall is still locked most of the time so perhaps you can meet the Alices there if you need to. There are plenty of things to occupy your time before the inevitable slow erosion of your memories. If this is a game, who will make the first move? You or the twins?

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

((OOC: Welcome to peace week! There will be no case this week so just have fun and explore. If you want to investigate please put Investigation in your top level. Don't forget to put threads in for regains or go to the Audience Hall to meet the Alices.

Also, if you want to keep up to date on things we now have a discord server!))

[Still staring down the bow and arrows but. He'll nod and approach, gesturing at his own pile.]

If you want anything from there, go ahead.

[scratchitti]

Mind if I snatch one of those hats?

[He has two after all]

... and yeah, looks like there are real weapons in there. C/Alice is serious about this killing thing...

[How did he even pronounce that? Let's not ask]

[xxxx_me]

[He nods, taking the drink.]

Yeah, you can.

[It doesn't really seem like Neku's style but far be it from Allen to protest.]

...That means they're probably serious about the memories, too.

[scratchitti]

[It's not, but jrpg instinct demands he collects threads. Plus what else was he gonna take, the giant candy gemstone?]

...probably, yeah.

[his tone is grim]

[xxxx_me]

You lost yours too... right?

[He thought he heard something about that on the first day. That, and dying.]

[scratchitti]

... yeah. Lost everything except for my name.

[xxxx_me]

The same thing happened to me.

[scratchitti]

Did you get them back?

[xxxx_me]

[A small nod.]

Right before I woke up here.

[scratchitti]

I've had all of mine for a few weeks now... Alice and Calice threatening them is way too much.

[xxxx_me]

[Allen nods again empathetically.]

...I don't want to give them up again. There's so many important things I forgot... it made me feel all hollow inside.

[He never wants to be like that again. Which is why he lowers his voice, trying to be quiet enough for only Neku to hear:]

That's why... I'm going to try to write things down this time. As long as I always know how to read, maybe I can keep them.
